Thing I've learned at the age of reason

Thing I've learned at the age of reason
As I become more and more convinced that there is no God and that science is the only, and I mean ONLY "belief" that actually contributes to the good of mankind, I have learned that:

- Atheists are not people without moral who steal and kill because "there is no God, sho who gives a f**k", as many theists believe
- I no longer fear Hell and the wrath of God
- I don't feel like an idiot during a conversation with an atheist
- I have the tools necessary to convert theists using valid, existent proof and evidence without resorting to "well if you read Mark 3:12..."
- people like George Carlin, Bill Maher, Brian from Family Guy, Richard Dawkins and Charles Darwin deserve my full respect
- Kent Hovind is the best unaware comedian of all time
- I can live a life without stealing, killing, cheating on my spouse, being a d*ck or a rich, selfish person without an invisible man telling me that with the help of a story book
- There are reasonable, tolerant and intelligent theists, but they are outnumbered by the other category Tongue

And the most important lesson of all: an atheist can be a better person than a religious man, but in the eyes of many he is and will be a heathen, a puppet of Satan or something like that. Which is quite disturbing.

No, bullsh*t. The main lesson is: I can't and shouldn't ignore my problems and trust that the Good Lord will help me with a Expecto Patronum spell. I have to work hard myself in order to overcome these problems.

I love this age - I'm finally starting to understand things and not blindly believe in something. It feels good.
Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...
